1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: The league signings, things of those nature. Miles Sanders limited

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: on Wednesday for the Carolina Panthers. They play Seattle this week.

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: They played late, they played the Monday night game, so

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: that could be a maintenance issue.

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 2: He was fighting some stuff coming into the season too.

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: I didn't think some pectoral injury for him right now. Okay,

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: so I didn't know of him reaggravating anything or making

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: anything worse. Yeah, So but Chewba Hubbard. Yeah, he's valuable. Yeah,

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: he's a true handcuff. Yeah.

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: So if it's bad, though, it's tough. The Browns reiterated

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: that Jerome Ford is their lead running back this after

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: signing Kareem Hunt today. I think that makes sense that

13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: may I mean, so they had they could have re

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: signed Kareem Hunt in the offseason, didn't They didn't. They said, no,

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: we're going with Jerome Ford as the backup to Nick Chubb.

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: So they already told you that they liked Jerome Ford

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: better than Kareem Hunt.

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: I also thought that was somewhat of a cost cutting

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: moves because they have awful cap situation to do.

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: Well end up giving Kareem Hunt four million they did

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: four million for the year.

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Wow. Okay, maybe that's why he's been on the

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: market because he wasn't going to take two or three right.

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's again four million now that they can't

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: roll over into next year had they not just.

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: Get stick here, stick here for their cap? Who would

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: you rather own? If I said I'll trade you Hunt

28
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: for Ford or Ford for Hunt? Who would you take?

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: I think so too.

30
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's going to be the guy.

31
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 2: I think so too. I mean there'll be more of

32
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: a split. This hurts Ford's cause, but I'd rather Yeah.

33
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think maybe they use Hunt as a

34
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 1: supplemental back tells me Pierre Strong has he done done?

35
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 2: No value?

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, Amari Cooper not practicing on Wednesday. He was

37
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: questionable going into the game against the Steelers with a

38
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: groin injury. He now also has a shoulder issue.

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: I know there's something.

40
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: So it's groin and shoulder.

41
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: They could fall fall into a bad spot all of

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: a sudden, too, yeah, I mean without it could be

43
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: the first domino.

44
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. They play the Titans this week at home.

45
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: But they're not gonna run on them. Watson's gonna have

46
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 2: to beat the Titans.

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt running against that I would not if yeah,

48
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: if I've got Jerome for it, I don't want to

49
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: start him this year. I would start Nick Chubb against

50
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: the Titans. But yeah, I would. You like, Okay, he's

51
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna give me a running back to performance.

52
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: Do you want to start Watson? No, I mean not

53
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: in the top twelve.

54
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: No, yeah no.

55
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 3: Uh.

56
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: Christian Watson practicing this week, did some individual drill, so

57
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: he'll probably be limited today. But that's that's just a step,

58
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 1: a step in the right direction for him.

59
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: If they get him and Aaron Jones back, they could

60
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: be formidable.

61
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: Well, Aaron Jones still not practicing for the Packers.

62
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: So I don't think Dylan's very good. And where I

63
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: watched Dylan, I think he's a jag.

64
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean some of those bigger backs they lose

65
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: it pretty quickly like that.

66
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's just and he doesn't play like Jerome,

67
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: you know what, Like he just doesn't mash people.

68
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 4: Uh.

69
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley and Andrew Thomas both ruled out for.

70
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: Their best two players. Yeah, well, definitely the best two

71
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 2: offensive players. Not good slaughtered, They are going to get slaughtered. No,

72
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: do not pick up Matt Brida and start him this

73
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: week in saquon Barkley's That's so if you had Saque

74
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: against the forty nine ers, yep, you wouldn't love to start,

75
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: but you wouldn't expect mine.

76
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: You're hoping that he catches five or six passes to

77
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: kind of supplement in.

78
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: The end zone or something, right, not now, No, No,

79
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: you're not playing Brita. So one note from that game.

80
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: I always reference that my podcast partner is a Niner guy.

81
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: He said he doesn't quite understand why McCaffrey's been playing

82
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: like one hundred percent of snaps. He's like, this could

83
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: be a real good Mitchell game if you're looking for

84
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: you know, if you're looking a short week, Yeah, you know,

85
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: why beat up m McCaffrey. If you're up by thirty,

86
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: of course, start McCaffrey, but you might want to start

87
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: Mitchell two. Yeah. I thought that was smart.

88
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: Jaylen Waddell still in concussion protocol. Of course, as of Wednesday,

89
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: he remains in protocol. I'm reading this off of Rodo ballers,

90
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: and people panic about that kind of stuff and Rotor

91
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: ballers they're aggregators.

92
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know that site.

93
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so when you read stuff like that, people, Oh

94
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: my god, he's still gonna yeah, because you're not going

95
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: to get cleared until Friday or Saturday. That's the way

96
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: the rule works.

97
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I feel like you explained that to

98
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: people eight times a year on.

99
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: The drive because everybody panics about it. Here's what he wrote,

100
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: Like the guy wrote this about this. The Dolphins are

101
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: not likely to take any chances with head injuries, especially

102
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: after the well documented concussions of to Attago by Loa.

103
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what is that to do with the

104
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: other They don't.

105
00:04:53,040 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not been cleared yet, so Odell Beckham not

106
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: at Ravens practice on Wednesday. He's got an ankle injury. Yeah. Yeah.

107
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: I think they were trying to incorporate him into the

108
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: passing game early last week and that may have been

109
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: the squeaky wheel kind of thing.

110
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, better get something out this guy. We gave him

111
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 2: a bunch of money.

112
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: He just can't stay healthy.

113
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: Him and Bateman. I think it's pretty clear Flowers and Andrews,

114
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: which is good for Flowers. They're gonna be the top

115
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: two receivers. Yeah, you know, and then it's gonna be

116
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: a gap.

117
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, justin fields came out today and blamed coaching for

118
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: his struggles.

119
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: Here, here we go, Here we go.

120
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: He said he's playing too robotic and thinking too much.

121
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he's playing poorly. You can blame whoever you want.

122
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying the coach has been great.

123
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 2: They certainly haven't.

124
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Jacobe Myers. This being relevant because they played the Steelers

125
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: this week. For the Raiders turned to practice Wednesday after

126
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: missing he's still in concussion protocol because he didn't practice

127
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: at all well and in practice at all last week.

128
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: So even though he returned to practice today, tomorrow is

129
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: the critical day for him. Then, after getting some action today,

130
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: some athletic movement and things of that nature, going out

131
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: and jogging, doing that kind of stuff, if you then

132
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: have a poor reaction to that, you can stay in protocol.

133
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: So this is this means nothing at this point.

134
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: I assume we'll get to Adams. But is it safe

135
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: to say Myers and Adams, assuming that Adams did something today,

136
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: their timeline started the same day, even though that it's

137
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: a week.

138
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not seeing anything here for Adams yet, but

139
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,119
Speaker 1: they are West Coast.

140
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

141
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: Bryce Young is dealing with an ankle injury.

142
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: Okay, So I mean I'm old school, but I immediately

143
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: think a little quarterback is taking a beating. Yeah, you

144
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: can be around a weekend.

145
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: Did not practice on Wednesday because of it. That doesn't

146
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 1: bode well either for him to a mon Ros Saint

147
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: Brown did not practice on Wednesday. He's dealing with a

148
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: toe issue. He was in and out of the game. Yeah,

149
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: this can be tricky.

150
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: He came back in, but yeah, that's not great.

151
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds is a guy, especially if a mon Ross

152
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Saint Brown doesn't plays usable usable regardless of people forget.

153
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: Like he played with with golf with the Rams, like

154
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: so they've been together a long time.

155
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: GM traded for golf game from the Rams and went

156
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: and got him. Yeah, even though we have had a

157
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: tight end conversation, maybe Loporter would pick up some of

158
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: the satwn you know, move the chain stuff.

159
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: The Saquon Barkley stuff. He's not going to play Thursday,

160
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: and there were some initial reports that this was going

161
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: to be three weeks because it's a low ankles brain. Yeah.

162
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: NFL Networks. He and Rappaport said that Barkley is really

163
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: more day to day than he is week.

164
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: To week Okay. I mean, so maybe you get them

165
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: next week. And this wasn't If you're a Barkley owner,

166
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: and I know you are, this isn't the end of

167
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: the world. I mean, you missed the Niner game on

168
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: a short week in San Francisco.

169
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: All right, all right, I'll start somebody else who might

170
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: get me more points than Barkley would have against in

171
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: this game on a short week that I can't even

172
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: read that one? What's going on with that Internet? Yeah,

173
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: that's not good? And I got to try to go

174
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: to the next page, and well there's nothing there. It's

175
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: all right, we'll see if.

176
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: We uh get into the old rotor world.

177
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: I got to find something better here. This is not

178
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: good radio. Come on, man, the internet or the site

179
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: we're on trying to give you guys a little love here,

180
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: and you don't exactly do that too. Let's let's see

181
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: what Pro Football Focus has on their key fantasy injury

182
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: or Yeah. Okay, so, uh remember Alvin Kamara is still

183
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: out this week. Yeah, this is a big one up. Yeah.

184
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill was limited today with a rib injury, and

185
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: he played quite a bit this last week. Yeah, right,

186
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: which everybody hates because nobody starts. I mean heats into

187
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: people you start. So, but Kendre Miller's Kendre Miller. They

188
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: didn't play him last week because he hadn't gotten a

189
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: lot of practice going into that. He was dealing with

190
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: a hamstring. He's a rookie.

191
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: He should be in every league though, If and.

192
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams is not going to play and there's no Kamara,

193
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: if Miller, yeah, he's out. If Miller practices this week,

194
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: he's going to be the lead dog that in that

195
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: in that backfield. I've heard that from more than one person.

196
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: He's a third round pick. A third round pick of

197
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: running back is not a throwaway pick, right. I mean,

198
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: maybe you only get one week until Kamara comes back,

199
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: or maybe they ingram Kamara up. I didn't know how

200
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: bad Jamal williams injury is. Is he out several weeks?

201
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: Your head?

202
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: Yeah?

203
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a bad one. Huh. So even

204
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: because that dude Jones they played, he's terrible.

205
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's he's the epitome of a jag.

206
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: I mean, he's no roadblock whatsoever. So Kendre Miller is interesting. Okay,

207
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: I having issues over here, huh.

208
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: I am like the one that I typically go to

209
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: here is not coming up. There's roadal wire. Let's see

210
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: what they got here. This is better, so they listen alphabetically.

211
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk is questionable.

212
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 2: You know that ahead of time?

213
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I shoulders or something like that. He did he

214
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: did practice limited, Uh yesterday and today.

215
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 2: You recently traded Wilson and something for him? Are you

216
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: hiring up if he plays Garrett?

217
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

218
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: I traded Garrett Garrett Wilson and uh I think yeah,

219
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: Aljier okay for Brandon Ayuk. Like what if you know

220
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: he's going and you're throwing him right in? Yeah, probably

221
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: I would think. Yeah, Josh Allen was limited today with

222
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: a shoulder. I wonder if that's the same when he

223
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: was an elbow injury yet last year year.

224
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so significant, that.

225
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: Is a significant Let's see looking first.

226
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: I guess we're going alphabetical like Barkley. We talked about that.

227
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what's happening. This is not as good.

228
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: The Giants also will be missing guard Ben Bredenson.

229
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: Man, I mean not he's a great player, but he

230
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: would have played for them. Andrew Thomas is out and

231
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: they have a rookie center and they're highly drafted. Right

232
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: tackle is bad. Are you starting Daniel Jones?

233
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: No, he might get killed in this game. Yeah, Branding

234
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: cooks with an mcl spring was limited today.

235
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: He missed last week. Yeah, I don't think Gallup or

236
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: anyone really picked up a slack. They did not Dot.

237
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 1: I don't want to start Gallop at the time mentioned

238
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: Amury Cooper. You know Tank Dell, somebody we talked about

239
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: is a potential pickup. He has a thigh issue and

240
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: was limited today.

241
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: So that team's kind of interesting in that they can't

242
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: run the ball at all at all. Their offensive line

243
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: is horrible. They're a bad team, but they have garbage

244
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: time potential.

245
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: To no end, Oh, without a doubt.

246
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, when it used to when Mills was the guy

247
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: they just got out of games. Now a stroud they

248
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: won him throwing and throwing throwing, even if they're down

249
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: thirty And their receivers are Nico Woods and Dell now

250
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: and it's not MATCHI, it's not the other guys they have,

251
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: So their top three are pretty defined. I bet catches

252
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 2: sixty seventy pass this year.

253
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, without Yeah, I mean I think he's he's a

254
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: valuable guy, So keep an eye on that he should

255
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: be in leagues.

256
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 3: I know that.

257
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: Briece slot machine type guy.

258
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: Brice Hall with a with that knee injury or knee

259
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: issue is limited today. I think that's gonna be his

260
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: season long thing, just trying to give him. He barely

261
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: touched the ball though last.

262
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: Week, especially when the game got out of hand and

263
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 2: they totally shut him down. I don't know what to

264
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 2: do about that offense. I think Dalvin Coach looks bad

265
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: and everything about the whole situation that it's hard.

266
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: To look good in that offense right now? Is it

267
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: really is Derrick Henry dealing with the toe. He was

268
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: limited today. I'll be shocked that keeps him out.

269
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

270
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: I mentioned Justice Hill, he has a toe injury. He

271
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: did not He did not practice today.

272
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: Is a good start.

273
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: And they they re signed the Drake of course to

274
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: their practice.

275
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: Great, that's not I mean, if you're counting, if you

276
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 2: were one of the guys that lost Dobbins and you

277
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 2: had Gus comfortable with Edwards as a mid RB two,

278
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: maybe yeah.

279
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: I mentioned Taysom Hill. He was limited today. That's actually

280
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: good news for Kendrey Miller, Like it's great news. Yeah.

281
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: I don't want Tom getting any carries, right, Yeah, he

282
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 2: don't let him like yeah, because they would use him

283
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: as a goal line back.

284
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: I know that's exactly what they were do.

285
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. A couple of direct snaps too. Yeah. Yeah, it's

286
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: bad news for car too. Everyone tays some Hill out

287
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: of the lineup for fantasy.

288
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: Let's see here what else we got mentioned. Aaron Jones, Uh,

289
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: Zay Jones did not practice today with a knee issue.

290
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: That'd be huge for Kirk. Kirk was kind of the

291
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: squeaky wheel this past week, and he'd probably be out

292
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: there and I'm sure he'd be out there in two

293
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: receiver sets. But Zay's not there. Let's see here. Dawson

294
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: Knox did not practice with a back issue. He has

295
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: one of those tight ends that the Ravens. That Ravens

296
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: injury report was pretty much the same as what it

297
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: had been. Linder Bat all all those guys, Humphrey, none

298
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: of those guys practiced again today. Like they're they're really

299
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 2: banged up. They're pretty fortunate who they've played. When Kendre

300
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: Miller we talked about him, We just talked about him

301
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: full participant today. If he's not your league, he better

302
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: be immediately. I actually picked him up this morning. Yeah,

303
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: but I considered it as well. I figured I'd beat

304
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: you to him. I picked up Johnson because there's a

305
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: lot of rumblings he might be the one, but he's

306
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: not a bad offen.

307
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: David Montgomery with that thigh injury did not practice. I

308
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: don't expect him to play. Reynolds is the guy to own.

309
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's going to be the every day he'll be

310
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: the He'll be the Montgomery Montgomery.

311
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Gibbs might get a little spike, but I don't.

312
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: I just don't think they want to line up and

313
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: run him into the ground. He's not a big guy,

314
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: and they don't want him out there on passing downs

315
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: because he's not.

316
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: A big guy.

317
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah right, No, he's not a heavy touch guy. Uh.

318
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: Foster Moreau with the Saints did not practice. He is

319
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: a non factor right now in fantasy. Isaiah Pacheco with

320
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: a hamstring did not practice.

321
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: He's coming back from that. I think did he miss

322
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: He only got like nine carries last year, so there's

323
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: some issue last week. Did he get hurt in the

324
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: game last week?

325
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: He may have, because again he only got nine carries

326
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: in a tight game. DeVante Parker with that knee was

327
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: limited today.

328
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: Patriot receivers go, He's okay.

329
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: As Josh Reynolds with a groin issue is limited today.

330
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: At least he was at least he was limited. We

331
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: just talked about him. Anthony Richardson with that concussion did

332
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: not He didn't even get it limited today. That's so,

333
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: would you pick up Gardner Minshew in a two quarterback

334
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: league starting the Yeah.

335
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. Minshew moves the moves the team. He's

336
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: one of the better backups out there.

337
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson full participant today. I'll know what he was

338
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 1: dealing with. They don't list the injury. They don't list

339
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: the injury, but he was a full participant today.

340
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

341
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: Wandel Robinson limited, he's questionable to play against the Yeah,

342
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: you can't do that. Pete Scronsky with hitn't happen deck

343
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: to me like Friday or Saturday last week. He's not

344
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: going to play this week against the Browns.

345
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: I think at well is usable. I mean, let alone

346
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: pooka Puka. You have to start.

347
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: Well, you're talking about the Rams, Oh yeah. Scronsky is

348
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman for the.

349
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 2: Who's the Who's the Big receiver for the Rams that

350
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: has a name like that.

351
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 3: I don't know.

352
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: Okay, he kind of looks like Cooper cop out there. Okay, whatever, Okay. Yeah.

353
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: Zadarius Smith for the Browns, however, did not practice today.

354
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 2: He's important.

355
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had had that ankle injury against the Steelers.

356
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised he went back in there,

357
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: But ankles sometimes you can kind of tape it up

358
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: and get through it. And then that you take the

359
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: shoe off and all of a sudden he goes ooomp.

360
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

361
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: Lugerious Sneid has a knee issue that had him limited

362
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: today for the Chiefs. That would be a big blow

363
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: for them.

364
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 2: You might as well sit him against the Bears too.

365
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: Yeah right, they don't throw enough to He's one of.

366
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 2: The guys that travels a fair amount. Yeah. So I

367
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 2: mean just something something of the note going forward to

368
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: opposing receivers.

369
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 3: Uh C J.

370
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: Stroud limited with a shoulder injury today. Don't think we

371
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: mentioned that both rookie quarterbacks banged a little banged up too.

372
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: That's worth watching against the Steelers. I play them in

373
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: two weeks, so let's see here. And mentioned Andrew Thomas

374
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: out Logan Thomas questionable with the concussion. This time he

375
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: took a shot. He did not participate today. Kadarius Tony

376
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: with that toe injury, did not practice today.

377
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: It's always something.

378
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: Laramie Tunsel.

379
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: Has a knee.

380
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: He was limited today for the Houston town Yeah, they

381
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: need him to be playing back and he's three or

382
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: four left bad bad way boy. The Browns linebackers all

383
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: banged up for that. Yes, Tacky Tacky and Anthony Walker

384
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: both limited today with shoulder injuries.

385
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: So those guys Smith are out. Defense takes a step

386
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 2: back for sure. Justin Watson for the Chiefs. They don't

387
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 2: list what the injury was, but a full participant. He's

388
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: actually been Yeah, yeah, I mean if you want to

389
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: DFS players, it's yeah, df.

390
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: Like He's like, it's the same thing at like three

391
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: for sixty two, Okay, yeah.

392
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 2: Dirt cheap. I mean, if you want them in your

393
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: redraft necessarily, but it's not bad. Somebody's gonna catch passes there.

394
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: Not named Kelsey.

395
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned Jamal Williams. That's a hamstring for him. He

396
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: did not practice. He's not going to play. Jedrick Wills

397
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: with a has a shoulder for the Browns. They just

398
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: all banged up, all banged up. That's pretty much. They

399
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: play the tenant, the Titans.

400
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: That's a physical, tough game. Yeah, you don't want to

401
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 2: be banged up against them. They could lose that game. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah,

402
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 2: I mean, if it comes down to coaching, yeah, exactly,

403
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: I'll take Rabel. I'll take all day long. Absolutely, that'll

404
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 2: be good. You know, they won't run on them.

405
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: Greg zer Line, the Jets kicker, who's their starting kicker.

406
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: He missed last week's game with a groin injury. He

407
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: did not practice again today. They picked up the former

408
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: Browns kicker. Yeah, not that he got a lot of

409
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: work in that game against the Cowboys.

410
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 2: Score point, but they probably will kick some field goals

411
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: if their defense, particularly this was the Patriots, aren't going

412
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 2: to run away from them. No, it should be a

413
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: low scoring game. I'm sure it's the lowest over under

414
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 2: total has.

415
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: Gotta be like thirty five. Yeah, but that is the

416
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: fantasy football focus for today. There's a lot of yeah,

417
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: a lot of and you know, I mean, yeah, he's

418
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: not expected to practice today. They we don't have the

419
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: injury report out of Los Angeles yet, but everything I

420
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: read early on him was that he is not expected

421
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: to practice today.

422
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 2: I don't think he's playing, Yeah, I don't.

423
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: Don't they play Monday night, so they don't they don't

424
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: have to come out with an injury report today.

425
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, I didn't think of that.

426
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: Hopefully there's some clarity there.

427
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 2: There's two Monday nighters again, right, Yeah, Chargers are in Minnesota. Yeah,

428
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: that's the one you want to start everybody. Yeah, I

429
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: mean I think that's by far the highest I think

430
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: it's read today. That's the highest over under yet this year.

431
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: It's like fifty three. It's only only going to go up.

432
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 2: It probably only go up.

433
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, because neither one of those teams is interested in

434
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: playing defense. No, not at all, but I mean they're

435
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: interested in it. They've heard of defense. Defense. Yeah, what

436
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: is this defense I hear about? Maybe I'll try. Anyways,

437
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to a break. You're listening to the

438
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. Well, first of all,

439
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: they need to get games on first down so they

440
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: can run the football on second.

441
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: Game script and also the second half against the Niners,

442
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: you're not going to run, right, you know.

443
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: The Raiders are running the ball almost forty seven percent

444
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: of the time into a wall and not. And still

445
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: they're averaging fifty eight rushing yards per game.

446
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, over and over with the back who led the

447
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: league in rushing last year. You know, I told you

448
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: this number off the air in Week one, where Josh

449
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: Jacob's first contact on his carries was half a yard

450
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: past the line of scrimmage. I mean usually it's like

451
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: two to three yards in the field. Last week it

452
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: was one point eight yards behind the line of scrimmage.

453
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: So he's like getting hit at the handy one step

454
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,239
Speaker 2: in the ground after getting the ball smacked. I mean,

455
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: it's not its fault. Yeah, by the way, it's not

456
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 2: Nause's fault either. By the way, it's the same kind

457
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: of stuff was happening to him.

458
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and Warren. They're running. The Raiders are running.

459
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: The Steelers are running fifty seven plays per game, which

460
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: is low, which is low. The Raiders are running forty

461
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: seven offensive plays per game, ten fewer plays per game

462
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: than the Steelers.

463
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: I think the Bills, who they just lost to, ran

464
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: like eighty one plays against them. I mean the plays

465
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: against them are crazy too, So.

466
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: They're obviously obviously they're playing very slow.

467
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 2: They're playing slow, and they're knocking running first downs and

468
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: they're not running the ball. Their passing game has been

469
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: better than the Steelers. Yeah, yeah, but still they have

470
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 2: their woes, to say the least.

471
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just uh, and they're not throwing this fifty

472
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: three percent of the time. Obviously they're they're throwing the football.

473
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: The Steelers don't.

474
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 2: Want to put on Jimmy, I mean, that's not what

475
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: they're built to do.

476
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: Uh, but you should be able to throw the ball

477
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: against ease. Guys. How about this number. The Raiders have

478
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: allowed opponents to reach the red zone or score a

479
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: touchdown prior to the red zone on ten of fifteen

480
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: of their defensive drives, sixty six point seven percent of

481
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: the time when you kick the ball, when they kicked

482
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: the ball off or or punts or whatever, turn the

483
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: ball over, getting ten out of fifteen times you get into.

484
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 2: The red zone, and the Steelers weren't there once last week.

485
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 2: You're right, if you get there two thirds of the time,

486
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 2: that's points.

487
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's into the red zone or scoring a

488
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: touchdown press yeah.

489
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: Right, or so you get a seventy yard or yeah,

490
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: the pickings play whatever to right.

491
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: Uh, the Steelers. The Steelers were the first team to

492
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: win a game without running a play in the red

493
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: zone last week. Since twenty nineteen, they need to run.

494
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 2: One between the twenty and thirty yard line. Hard to do.

495
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: The Raiders have allowed a league high fifty one point

496
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: eight yards per drive this season. Again every time, yeah,

497
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: so basically every time they kicked the ball. Okay, you're

498
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: in field goal range, you give yard. Yeah, we're gonna

499
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: give you fifty and twenty five. Yeah, you're imposing twenty five.

500
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: Through two games, thirty percent of Las Vegas rushing plays

501
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: twelve out of forty have failed to gain yardage. That's

502
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: the highest rate in the league. Thirty percent.

503
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 2: Don't even get a yard.

504
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: If you're gonna do that against the Steelers this week

505
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: and then say, okay, hey, TJ. What Alex high Smith, Yeah,

506
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: it's second and eleven.

507
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the other thing is if you get bottled

508
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: up behind the line of scrimmage, it also gives you

509
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: Usually it's a gang tackle. You never get going. People

510
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 2: are in there punching at the football. And I didn't

511
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: put two and two together with this until I start

512
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: fiddling with the stats and stuff. Steelers have caused seven

513
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 2: fumbles this year already already they had nine. All of

514
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 2: last year they were they led the league in interceptions,

515
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: had the fewest fumble recoveries, partially because they caused very few.

516
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 2: They've already caused seven. You know, like it's something to

517
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 2: keep an eye on. You're getting bottled up behind the

518
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. The run game ball might be popping out.

519
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: People are again complaining about Naji Harris. He's got sixteen

520
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: carries this year for seventy four yards. If Naji Harris

521
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: had a game where he had sixteen carries for seventy

522
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 1: four yards, I had a pretty good game. Bad, right,

523
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: Like he's averaging almost it's like five yards of carry.

524
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 2: Then he's working hard for it.

525
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's broken off and he's got three chunk runs

526
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: already this season.

527
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 2: That were all him, by the way, Yeah, I mean

528
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: they weren't like perfectly blocked parted. Yeah, we were talking

529
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 2: about this off the air, and by no means are

530
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 2: we giving Warren a hard time or but the few

531
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: times things have been really well blocked, it's not when

532
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: he's been in there.

533
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it just has a.

534
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: Couple well blocked, a couple two or three well blocked

535
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: run plays this year, and it's always been when Warren's

536
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: in there. And I don't think, folks, it's because Warren

537
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 2: hits the whole harder or they like them better or

538
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 2: something goofy like that. It's been locked.

539
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's just that's just the way it goes.

540
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: Some of it's when Jalen Warren also is in the game.

541
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: Yeah it's against Nickel and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

542
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: Well again, the Raiders live in Nickel and dime. I

543
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 1: want to run my big running back against their Nickel

544
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: and dime defense. Yeah, I know.

545
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: It's not because they've Aaron Donald in the middle. Now,

546
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 2: you know, some of these teams live in Nickel and

547
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: dime because they have a great defensive tackle that you

548
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 2: know does the work of two guys. Well they don't.

549
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, you know, I want to get them

550
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: in those situations and run the football.

551
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: I think you should be able to run on these guys,

552
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: especially if even time and possession is close to equal,

553
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: you know, like the number of plays being run, if

554
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: both teams are equally struggling. You know, the Steeler defense

555
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: isn't on the field the whole time, which would shock

556
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: me against these guys, considering they're not running ball well either,

557
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: you should be able to run the ball three four

558
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 2: or five yards a clip at least, which is much

559
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: better than it's been.

560
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: And this should not be a game. They've given up

561
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: a sixty yard run sixty plus yard run in each

562
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: of their first two games. That should not happen this week.

563
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: No, when we were on a call today, you know,

564
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: gearing up for a video tomorrow, you know, what are

565
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: some keys of the game, and we all kind of

566
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: joke like, don't give up seventy yard runs. Yeah, you'll

567
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: you'll be okay if you don't allow like if.

568
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 3: They like this.

569
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: The Steelers run defense right now is last in the league,

570
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: not surprisingly, which.

571
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: Is a little bit of a misnomer. Yeah, I mean

572
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: it's not I'm not saying it's been great, but in

573
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 2: a two game stretch, if you allow a big run

574
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: or two, it's going to be at the bottom of

575
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 2: the league.

576
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you you know, if if you

577
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: look at it, you know, you're giving up one hundred

578
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: and ninety three yards rushing per game, which obviously isn't good.

579
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: That's terrible.

580
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: But if you take those sixty yard runs out or

581
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: sixty five, and it was a sixty five and a

582
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: sixty nine. Well, now you're at one hundred and twenty.

583
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: Which again is not great, not great, but it's you know,

584
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: some of that was you know for.

585
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, was was the quarterback running the ball, et cetera,

586
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: et cetera.

587
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 2: Face McCaffrey and in chub. Yeah, for about six of those.

588
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: You go into those games knowing you're probably going to

589
00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: give up over one hundred rushing yards.

590
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: Again, that's all okay, but it's what happened, you know, right,

591
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: But if you can eliminate the big ones. And last

592
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 2: year they were two years ago they were awful, allowing

593
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: big runs, awful, like I always remember that Viking game,

594
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: going what is going on? Yeah? And then last year

595
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: they were like the best in the league at it.

596
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: I mean. So it's the communication and it's.

597
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: Not been like it was two years ago, where man,

598
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: they're just getting blown off the line of scrimmage.

599
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: You know, you can drive a freight trade through it.

600
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 2: This one's missed. The tackling miss tackle last year, misstackles.

601
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 2: I bet communication has a little bit of something to

602
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 2: do with it. I forget which play it was but

603
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: the lot two linebackers got stacked up in the same gap.

604
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: Like maybe if you play with each other, you know, get.

605
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: Start to learn a little bit. Yeah, have a better feel.

606
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: Maybe that gets better. By the way, the Bengals are

607
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: allowing one hundred and ninety two yards rushing per game.

608
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: They are barely better than the Steelers.

609
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: You notice the teams that can't get first downs are

610
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 2: allowing a lot of rushing yards.

611
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: Shocking enough.

612
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well it's a team. Shockingly enough. I didn't

613
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 5: realize it was that bad for the Bengals though. I

614
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 5: didn't either until I just looked at that. Like, but

615
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 5: they also had one thing in common. They played the Browns.

616
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 5: They both played the Browns. Yeah, the Bengals played the Ravens.

617
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 5: Who again, the quarterback's going to add to that. I'm

618
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 5: kind of surprised at this point that Kenny Pickett hasn't

619
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 5: run more.

620
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: I was thinking that too, like, at least pick up

621
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 2: a first down here and there with your legs, because

622
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: he's very, very capable. I mean, it's kind of like

623
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: the friar Mooth thing, like, yeah, there's an untapped resource

624
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: there that if you're as desperate as they look, you

625
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: should you do a little more of it.

626
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like to see a little bit more of that.

627
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: Maybe roll him out a little bit and let him

628
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: do some of that stuff. But you know when you

629
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: do that, when you do roll the quarterback out, you're

630
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: kind of cutting the field in half.

631
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Oh, you definitely are. I mean their half

632
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: field reads and yeah, I don't know that he needs

633
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: Maybe at this point that wouldn't be bad either. I

634
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: don't know.

635
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean they did it once early in the game

636
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: against the Browns where they rolled him out early in

637
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: the game to give him an easy throw, and I

638
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: think it was a quick throw to Alan Robinson. Yeah,

639
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: we had I think two or three three catches early

640
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: and then nothing.

641
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: Then nothing. Yeah, even after cle like Newsom was out

642
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 2: of the game, and they didn't go after that nickel corner,

643
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 2: which I mean they also didn't run a lot of

644
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 2: plays and what is that too? Run the ball and yeah,

645
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: there's a lot of circumstances there, of course, circumstances. But

646
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: I'd like to see Kenny get twenty yards a get

647
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: a game rushing, Yeah.

648
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: Just to give you a little supplemental running.

649
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: They don't even have to be designed. I mean he's

650
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: been great at scrambles too.

651
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. The Raiders offense, everybody we know the Steelers offense

652
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: has been bad. It's it's you know, not being good, undeniable.

653
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: They're averaging two hundred and forty seven yards per game.

654
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: The Raiders are two fifty point five.

655
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, not much better, not much better at all. Yeah.

656
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: So the Bills are a good defense. I don't think

657
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: they're an elite defense. And play the Broncos. The Broncos,

658
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: who's not great.

659
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I just, you know, I think there's some

660
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: things you need to take advantage up here. This is

661
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't believe this is a good football team.

662
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 2: No, I don't either. I think it's a tremendous matchup.

663
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: It's hopefully a get right game. I think you're seeing

664
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: them at a wonderful time to hopefully build some momentum.

665
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 2: Like I know, every season is different, but there was

666
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 2: a clear turning point last year with the Week nine

667
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: by Maybe you get two terrible games out of your system,

668
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 2: start to build some momentum like you did last year.

669
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you're not gonna lose one or two

670
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 2: games from this point on or anything, but the schedule

671
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: isn't bad, you know, certainly the next two weeks, but

672
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 2: even the rest of the year. If you could get

673
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: something established in this game to build off of, that

674
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 2: would go such a long way.

675
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: How about this stat through two games. You're gonna love this.

676
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: You might want to put this in your status type.

677
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 1: Through two games, the Raiders punt returners have not had

678
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: a punt return.

679
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 2: I'll take it up on a notch. Okay, there has

680
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 2: not been a punt return in a Raider game all year.

681
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what to make of that, but so

682
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: they haven't punning. If you look at their stats, zero

683
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 2: punt return yards against and four interesting. Yeah, no one

684
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 2: has returned upon in a Raider. Team's fair catching, I

685
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 2: assume against it. Yeah, I don't think.

686
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: I don't think the Raiders are fair catching because they're

687
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: just not forced. As you said, ten out of fifteen

688
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: drives have ended in the.

689
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 2: Problem they're not causing.

690
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: You're not punting.

691
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, But no, there has not been a return

692
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 2: a punt return yard yet in Raiders.

693
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I might make that one of my guarantees

694
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: this week. You'll blow blow it. Don't don't tell him that.

695
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: Keep that stats yourself. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna throw

696
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: that one out to him on Sunday. Is one of

697
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: my guarans. There will be a punt return yard in

698
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: this game.

699
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,839
Speaker 2: He might have beat you to it because I sent

700
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: him the abbreviated He sometimes he reads it before the

701
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: Wednesday shows.

702
00:34:58,239 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: He does.

703
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 2: He'll read it though, I'll and he'll he'll spring it

704
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: on me like he came up with it or something.

705
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, like.

706
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: Like I don't read your stat package every week, like

707
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: he probably doesn't know you edit it. Yeah, well, well

708
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 1: he likes to likes the one. I know he's banging

709
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: the drum on this week. You know, the Steelers haven't

710
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: won in h haven't beaten the Raiders on the road

711
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety five. Okay, they've played it four times.

712
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: It's four times.

713
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I say it's probably never in Vegas either.

714
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: They've never played in Vegas.

715
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

716
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: The last the last Steelers win against they didn't win

717
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: in Oakland, right, Okay, the last Steelers win against the

718
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: Raiders came in Los Angeles.

719
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 2: Like all you guys have been covering the team forever.

720
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 2: Look at I remember, you know, talking to schedules with

721
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: you and pursuita and all these guys are like, you know,

722
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: they'll win Monday Night against the Browns, they always do.

723
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: Then they'll lose against the Raiders.

724
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: But if it's in Oakland, if it's in Oakland, I

725
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: would agree with that. I have no idea what to

726
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: expect in Vegas, right, they beat them, They would beat

727
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: them in Los Angeles.

728
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that wasn't always a black pit for

729
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 2: the Steelers going there. I remember like the throll prior

730
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 2: game and stuff like that.

731
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: It's an awful place to play. Yeah, it's a it's

732
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 1: a bad stadium. It's a it's a bad ben.

733
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 2: For an X ray machine. Yeah, you know, just nasty stuff.

734
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean it's kind of like when they when

735
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: they would go to Candlestick and play the I mean

736
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: those are the turf in those stadiums was awful.

737
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 2: And this is a brand new facility that could be

738
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: loaded with Steeler fans. Yeah, so different world.

739
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, four times is not four times over twenty five

740
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: or thirty years is not a trend.

741
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 2: It's not a Steeler brown No, no, not even close

742
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: for the Steelers at home drend.

743
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: Anyways, we're going to get to a break. He is

744
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lallie. You're listening to the

745
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. When we come back,

746
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: we'll hear from Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett. He addressed a

747
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: media earlier today. We'll get to listen to that right after.

748
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 6: This Black and Gold football leaps here a twenty four set.

749
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 6: You were listening to cash in on Steelers Nation Radio.

750
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 2: We've invented a new messaging system using the crisp sounds.

751
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 3: About were there and it was loud, and you know,

752
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 3: we felt it.

753
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 7: It was awesome to be to be a part of

754
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 7: that night and come out with the win, which is

755
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 7: the most important stats. So we want to go out

756
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 7: to Vegas and get that most important style.

757
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: You know this week.

758
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 7: In our last game afterwards that you feel like there's

759
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 7: like one play that would be on the sticks as

760
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 7: you went back and Marshall film was there consistent.

761
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 3: That's what it That's to me, that's what it felt like.

762
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 7: You know, we would have a drive going and then

763
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 7: it was a first and tent call or second tent

764
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 7: where we didn't, you know, execute and we put ourselves

765
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 7: behind the chains and that's when you're in third and

766
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 7: long against a really good pass rush, you're not getting

767
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 7: guys out. It's it's tough to fill the ball down

768
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 7: the field. So we got to eliminate those plays, stay

769
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 7: ahead of the chains, and that's where we know.

770
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: I feel like the more balance we'd be, that we

771
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 3: could be the better specifically played the able team where

772
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 3: there are no two quarters.

773
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: Just played great the week before with the Niners that

774
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: were the defensive field with body. Get him from the Raiders.

775
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, when the special player in ninety eight, you know, huge,

776
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 7: huge amount of respect for him and how hard he plays.

777
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 7: He never comes off the field. He's great against the run,

778
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 7: he's great against the pass. He causes guys fits. So

779
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 7: we gotta you know, manage him and make it to

780
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 7: our best and out let him affect the game like

781
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 7: we have with these previous two you know, pass rushers

782
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 7: that are really good. You know, we have a stretch

783
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 7: of three games here where we're playing some really good

784
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 7: talent up front. So that's that's the goal. They got

785
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 7: secondary guys that run really well. A veteran guy in

786
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 7: twenty four that's playing a lot of football, he's that

787
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 7: you know, he he makes a lot of plays. Old friend,

788
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 7: you know, Spallaine in the in the middle. It would

789
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 7: be cool to see him out on the field. He's

790
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 7: you know, he's an unbelievable player, great in the run,

791
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 7: you know, underrated I think in the past with how

792
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 7: his speed. I remember throwing routes to him when I

793
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 7: first got here. He's just an athletic middle linebacker. So

794
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 7: they they have great players all over the place. It's

795
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 7: another really tough task for us. We had a coming ready, Kenny.

796
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: Thirty one.

797
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 3: I'm seeing a lot of teams from the league do.

798
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: That kind of scrumb push whatever they're calling, especially.

799
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 2: The Eagles, or you feel like you're a depth.

800
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 3: Is it something you're comfortable.

801
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean we have we have different ways of

802
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 7: getting to a QB sneak and assuming is what you're saying. Yeah,

803
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 7: we have different ways of getting to it. Each team

804
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 7: does it differently. We have our ways. Kenny, you came

805
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 7: in with Chalen and so convert that big third down

806
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 7: before the seventy one yard pass.

807
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 3: Where have you seen him grow and do you think

808
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 3: there are more opportunities.

809
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 7: For him consistently? You know, thirty shows up making plays.

810
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 7: You know, he's a guy that needs to get the

811
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 7: football run, pass, whatever it may be. He continually pops

812
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 7: and makes those explosive plays for us. So we got to,

813
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 7: you know, continue to focus on getting him footba as well.

814
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 7: Pad has had a lot of opportunities goes.

815
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 3: There have been chances in the middle of the fielding

816
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,720
Speaker 3: guys and how you maybe take.

817
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 7: Care of it, you know, yes and no, you know

818
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 7: you we want to get him, get him the football

819
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 7: as well. You keep here, and there's a lot of

820
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 7: guys we have. You know, some games it may be George,

821
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 7: some games it may be Pad, and maybe Tay when

822
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 7: he's out there healthy, or Calvin. You know, we're still

823
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 7: figuring that out. How the ball gets dispersed and ultimately

824
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 7: defense kind of dictates, you know, covers based where I'm

825
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 7: heading with him.

826
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: That was Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett earlier today with the

827
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: assembled media, and as you can say, you know, he said, look,

828
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: we don't have an offensive identity right now, and you know,

829
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 1: I think fans would agree with that. The Steelers would

830
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: agree with that, and that's something that they have to

831
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: find and figure out very quickly here as they head

832
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,759
Speaker 1: into a game against the Las Vegas Raiders on a

833
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,120
